Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Dear Arkay, " Just that you got a little too blithe (I don't mean you remain dour in the company of your " wonderful friends " here). " I think all of us, and u too, would prefer to be blithe rather that dour....In any case what makes us blithe and what makes us dour is illusory.....so no harm in having illusions that make us happy. As regards " too " blithe....its just a matter of how much energy we can crank up within ourselves to be whatever we are, isn't it??? " Astrology could be vanished if we were all perfect beings, the world were not a vale of soul-making " . But dear, the world is a " vale of soul-making " ....why else are we here if not to evolve??? ISn't that a very natural thing to happen??? Nalini writes: " ...if certain experiences have been given to you it is because you have wished it so. It is never a reward and punishment theory as for as the Divine is considered. All deeds are but the wishes of the inner I. It becomes so much more easier that all the ills are foisted on us by *ourselves*... " Yesterday, I was savouring (read that as licking and lapping up) OSho's write-up posted by Shreenadh. It mentions something about we choosing the constellations we are born under...so that we can experience what we have to experience. By the same logic we may choose the prarabhda we have to live thru in this life, don't u think??? Yes, would love to hear more....
